commands cgi peculiarity, commands execute, and then are undone

[Michael Komitee]

I'm running Nagios Version 1.1 in a production environment and recently the commands cgi has stopped functioning properly. It seems that when a command is input via the CGI, it is executed properly. Within a short period of time, however, whatever the command did, is undone.

eg: I disable a service notification. Once the command is input, I check to see if the notification has been disabled, and it has been. Within a minute, however, it is automatically re-enabled.

we're performing about 290 checks per minute. load is high on the server. 

dual 2.4 ghz xeons, a gig of ram

most checks cause the execution of around 3 instances of perl. (5.6.1).
15 minute load average stays around 5.50 or so.

i've really gotta stress this though, under this load the system continues to be HIGHLY responsive. 
it's forking a lot of instances of perl, and so there's a high load average. 

I dont see how this can be related to load, although we are executing a lot of checks.


Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-mike
